BarevTrails Tatev

Tatev is part of Armenia’s Syunik province, which is an area known for its valuable cultural heritage and lush nature. Home to an ancient monastery, Tatev has traditionally been a touristic site. On this trail, however you will be exploring the massive Vorotan Gorge, and seeing all that lies between the famous Tandzatap Village and the Devil’s Bridge Natural Monument. An adventurous experience that you won’t likely forget is waiting for you.

BarevTrails Arpa

During the second visit of our volunteers, 3 trails have been created in the “Arpa” Protected Landscape. The trails allow a visitor to explore biodiversity, observe Bezoar Goats and enjoy the Noravank Canyon from bird’s eye view.a

BarevTrails Jermuk

The trail passes through Arpa river canyon connecting Gndevaz village and Gndevank medieval monastery complex with Kechut reservoir.
Some parts of the trail have been used in ancient times by people and animals. The Arpa river canyon has rich flora and fauna, and it is famous for its massive and beautiful rocks.

BarevTrails Dsegh

The area of Dsegh village is rich in ancient monuments and ancient trails passing through gorges. This area was formerly the headquarters of the Mamikonian aristocratic dynasty. The Giqor Trail, also called the Dzaghidzor Trail, was used in the Middle Ages and is a road-monument.

Faye Lightfoot Couldn't have asked for a better experience. I felt completely appreciated by everyone, the staff and the camp mates. I felt like everyone just bonded instantly and it really proved that Wesser is truly a family. It was amazing meeting the Armenians too, they really embraced our craziness and it was so brilliant learning the local cultures.

Nicole Mastai Who knew that a place so unknown would give so many people the joy of pure happiness. Armenia is so timeless, so untouched and so real it touched our heart in the deepest way. The opportunity to be real and make a difference by leaving the achieved goal of a breathtaking trail which others will be able to enjoy, has been one of the biggest opportunities of my life.

Emma Wiethoff I really enjoyed getting to know Armenia. Before I went there, I knew nothing about the country and I'm really impressed by its beautiful nature. But the most impressive thing about the trip - were the people. So many different characters, but all special in their own way, who built together a real community. Thank you.

Germany

Max Fioravanti Sometimes you just know that you've been part of something that really can make a difference. We've been breathing a lot of wind in the fire of change in the past 9 nine days. We did not only build a bridge for the trail, we built it between beautiful humans of different nations. Thank you all so much.

Viktoria Schrott Love was a huge thing on this trip. I think most people discovered their love for the Armenian countryside, the yummy food and the 'oh so nice' people. They may even have experienced a little more love for themselves. I specially learned to love goats and vodka. Thank you!

Germany

Manuel Baumgartner This project is the beginning of a dream come true. Top motivated and committed employees of Wesser came together in the amazing, breath-taking Armenian nature to work with local people with combined power for conservation. Everyone can make a difference - and even more together... we all felt that in Tatev: Wings of change!

Head of Project Wesser Foundation, Switzerland

Hermine Hakobyan This project is much more than just a development of ecotourism infrastructure. Volunteers will visit cultural sights getting acquainted with the rich cultural heritage of Armenia, will try Armenian cuisine, communicate with the locals experiencing their hospitality and warmth. They will become let’s say "ambassadors" of Armenia in their countries.
